Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 937: Shri Viragini (ōṃ virāgiṇyai namaḥ

The Divine Mother is dispassionate (not influenced by any strong emotion, and so able to be rational and impartial).

She is in determined form. To desire for things not presently with us can be called ‘ragam’. To keep attachment on a newly found thing is also ragam. There is nothing new for the Divine Mother in this universe. So, She does not have a desire to seek any universal thing. There is nothing special on which, She needs to keep Her attachment. So, the desire for or attachment to universal things for the Divine Mother is not there; such desires are far away from Her.

There is no need to discord things due to frustration; with no desire to discord things is part of determination, She is in unattached state; to save the universe, being Visalakshi Devi to look after the universal beings is due to Her kindness and not due to any specific attachment.

Viragini can mean ‘being more reddish in colour’. Unattachment indicates the redness. The saints use reddish clothes to show their unattachments. Viragam is unattachment; Vir is a special red coloured clothed saint’s form. She is in such a form to support the universal beings.

She is creating, sustaining and destroying the universe as a sport; She has no desire for anything in this universe. She is not bound or attached to anything; She is unattached to any specific thing or being in this universe.

The Divine Mother is dispassionate
